Vibhavanāśanī (विभवनाशनी) refers to one of the Consorts of Gauḍīśadeva: one of the Nine Nāthas according to the Kulakaulinīmata.—The Nine Nāthas propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras. Although each Siddha has a consort with which he shares some part of his spiritual discipline, she is not considered to be his wife. Thus, from the perspective of his identity as an initiate, he is not a householder.—Gauḍīśadeva is the Caryā name of this Nātha (i.e., the public name the Siddha uses when living as a wandering renouncer). His consort is Vibhavanāśanī. [Alternatively Lalitābhairavī according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka].
